i'd say yes also. some people on the muffwiggler forum have gotten theirs and some are still waiting.

the five12 vector sequencer is sort of a slice of the Numerology sequencer (which is awesome and fun). there's a couple threads about it on the five12 forum. Jim of five12 is a really great developer who seems to not sleep. he's good w/updates, bug fixes and adding features.

the other sequencers around are the squarp pyramid, the social entropy Engine.. there's the more imemdiate less deep but still capable stuff by Twisted electrons... looks fun but you'd need one for notes and one for drums i think.. Crazy8 and Crazy8 beats

in modular there's a bunch of really great sequencers. different world though.

people talk about the Engine a lot. pretty capable but probably not as much as the cirklon.

I'd love to hook up an Eloquencer with something like the nerdseq, put that through a bunch of weird clock dividers, LFO gens.. social entropy seems fun for a budget friendly workflow. I'm still trying to wrap my head around my Zaquencer, was a bit too lazy for it the last few months. It can't do holds which is a shame.. Gonna check out the five12 later today :)

I'm guessing this is a response to Behringer's NAMM clones, but Roland filed for trademarks for the 303 and 808 designs in Germany. I wonder if this would have an impact on their release if they're planning on selling them in a month.

Roland has taken steps to protect the design of its classic TB-303 and TR-808 machines.

Sleuths over at the sequencer.de forum discovered the filings, which seek to trademark the "signature layout of the keyboard and knobs of the 303 and the sequence of colored buttons on the 808," Create Digital Music reports. Forum posters speculate the moves are a response to Behringer's RD-808, which copied the TR-808's colour scheme and button layout. (The version showed at this year's NAMM reversed the colours.) The German filing for the 303 is here and the filing for the 808 is here.

Last year, Roland filed applications to trademark the TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
